在你所在的城市入睡之前，你可能会出去散步。你带着狗狗，走出家门，进入夜色之中。在这样的散步中，任何事情都有可能发生：你可能会经过一只猫，或者一个朋友，甚至是一只早起的浣熊。当你沿着街道走到转角处时，周围的窗户一个接一个地亮了起来，直到你穿过一个由纸灯笼组成的迷宫，每一个纸灯笼都能让你看到一张简短的、发光的邻居快照：一家人聚在一起，人们在晚上安顿下来。

Walking his dog at dusk, one boy catches glimpses of the lives around him in this lovely ode to autumn evenings, exploring your neighbourhood, and coming home.

Before your city goes to sleep, you might head out for a walk, your dog at your side as you go out the door and into the almost-

night. Anything can happen on such a walk: you might pass a cat, or a friend, or even an early raccoon. And as you go down your street and around the corner, the windows around you light up one by one until you are walking through a maze of paper lanterns, each one granting you a brief, glowing snapshot of your neighbours as families come together and folks settle in for the night. With a setting that feels both specific and universal and a story full of homages to The Snowy Day, Julia Denos and E. B. Goodale have created a unique book – at once about the idea of home and the magic of curiosity, but also about how a sense of safety and belonging is something to which every child is entitled.
